Wow, I was sitting minding my own business waiting for a bus, and this old bum comes up real close to me and starts acting aggressive and all in my face. Calling me chickenshit and pretending to kick and punch me but pulling back at the last moment. At first, I tried to just walk away from him but he followed me. Then I told him he needed help and he sarcastically asked me if I meant psychological help. Finally I had enough of his antics and being all in my face, so I told him I wasn't afraid of him and stood my ground. I'm a decent size guy and could have taken him in a fight, he was skinny and a lot lighter weight than me. He then backed off and went looking for other people to harass.

Unfortunately my cell phone battery was dead otherwise I would have called the cops on this idiot pronto.

The DUmmies love preaching compassion yet they are a cloistered community of elites. They denigrate the Bible and Christ's teachings and yet Christ walked and lived with the dregs of humanity that these people shun. Hypocrites.

What do you call an arrogant bully that can never admit it when he's wrong? Mr. President.

Here they are just bums. We have corners at busy intersections where they
work in shifts passing off the same "Help" signs. They have been given the
Green light by our clueless Sarasota City Council and Police Chief...

“Progress is Providence without God. That is, it is a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident. It is a sort of atheistic optimism, based on an everlasting coincidence far more miraculous than a miracle.”
G. K. Chesterton

The fact that he said bum rather than homeless or some other innocuous title tells me it is likely true.

This is true. Also, the fact that the didn't preach to him about the wonders of Obama, following which the homeless person, er uh, bum, didn't have an epiphany and decide to turn hist life around through the wonders of community organizing, tells me that this is most likely true. I suspect that the DUmmies will be less than forgiving.

I find making eye contact and just being polite goes a long way dealing with people who are living on the street. They are not used to that.

Yeah, that would have gone really well with the bum who was in the OP.
